Quote from digitalgimpus :
Have a 65" of this beast.

If you have a brighter room, this is what you want. OLED sucks in bright rooms as it's peak brightness is optimized for the dark (hence showrooms only show them in darker areas). It's even better at this than the previous Q90T.

These things perform shockingly well even in the middle of the day in a bright room.

At night, blacks are pretty damn close. OLED still wins here, but not by very much anymore. Still a little blooming, but again, not nearly the margin just 2-3 years ago had over OLED. Most people wouldn't know without comparing side by side and having done research to know what to look for.

I echo the the previous commenter. If all you will ever do is watch movies in your basement, consider OLED. For more balanced watching, you want one of these.
I don't own one but the LG 77" OLED that is front and center every time I go to Costco looks pretty darn good. Pretty bright in there

After placing an order, just click cancel and provide one of the reason as "found it cheaper elsewhere", they will automatically offer $100 to keep the order.
Thats a great hack to know. I wasnt aware. Happy with the price i paid but another $100 off wouldve been sweeter!

Yeah, I have a 77cX and 65c8, both of which are just fine in daylight in the living room and bedrooms (which also has skylights right on it). No idea what people are talking about bright conditions, although, yeah, dark room is where OLED really shines.

Anyone know why you wouldn't buy the hisense tv instead?
Hisense U8G largest size is 65", that's the main reason. Other than that it's a good price for a good tv at around $1200 for the 65".

The Samsung QN90A is their flagship 4K model, you're going to get a bright picture , better contrast and overall much better support and resale value.

All of these items are luxuries and anyone would be very happy with the Hisense. I own an H9G which was their flagship model last year. Good tv, poor motion though and that's where Samsung higher end tv is much better.

Regardless you're paying a higher price for those *fine details, but the Hisense U8G 65" is a very good tv.

Can't speak for everyone else, but I have a 2 story living room with a wall of windows. OLED isn't bright enough to take it on. Ordered this deal in 85" - we'll see how it does. My last Samsung- KS8000 - did OK, but I'm hoping for even better from this one.

Military wasn't working for me so I had to grab an .edu account to get it to the OP's price.

cash back sites offering increased CB for Samsung today. Rk10 still at 2% on TVs only. Top is 10% but TVs are excluded from CB. So best option seems to be AA or Chase UR at 4m/$ ?

I tried Samsung chat as I have the military discount but am not seeing any discount. No luck. Too bad b/c I was ready to pull the trigger
Military discount isnt the same as EPP. Best thing to do is go on ebay and buy an .edu email for $5. Use that to get EPP discount.

BS. Normal SDR Brightness is around 350 nits on LG OLEDs. That is absolutely no where near enough to counter glare, especially on a large 77" screen. In comparison this QN90A is around 1450 nits with SDR. Event my iPhone is around 700 nits and I struggle to see it sometimes with direct sunlight. Anyone claiming OLEDs are just fine in daylight are either lying or dont even own an OLED.

Not sure if you'll get the edu account to work as they use ID.me to verify.

Also GreenTxx has this for 3800 shipped and no tax for most.
